"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?" The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really existed), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.

A kipper is a salt-cured dried fish (usually a herring), that is served at the Great Hall at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.^[1] Ronald Weasley once gagged on a kipper.^[2]

A Chaser of a Hogwarts Quidditch team usually ate kippers for breakfast before Quidditch matches.^[3]

Kipper was sometimes served as part of regular meals. In February 1995, after Hermione Granger aggravated the Hogwarts house-elves, Ronald Weasley worried that it would put them off their cooking, but the next morning "the bacon, eggs, and kippers were quite as good as usual."^[4]

When Ron caught sight of his brother Percy on the morning of the Funeral of Albus Dumbledore, he stabbed some pieces of kipper with unwonted venom.^[5]
